Insensitive High-Performance Replacements for RDX in Explosive and Propellant Formulations

摘要

The objective of the proposed research project is to investigate and explore the chemistry of neutral (covalent) high-nitrogen compounds and high- nitrogen salts as potential energetic ingredients for gun propellant charges and replacements for RDX. The new high-nitrogen compounds and salts should be less environmentally hazardous, have no greater sensitivities, and have equal or better performance.
